GTA V is now out on Epic Games Store was the tweet that captured our attention today. The game started trending right after Epic announced this. The main feature of the news was that the game is now free to play. This made everyone go crazy, and now everyone wants to try out the game.
However, this came with a threat as well. As soon as GTA V was announced to be there till May 21st, people flocked to Epic Games Store to get their hands on the game. This created a lot of server issues for which they released a statement on Twitter. Due to the high traffic, these issues started. One cannot really complain, though, its GTA V after all.
We are currently experiencing high traffic on the Epic Games Store.
We are aware that users may be encountering slow loading times, 500 errors, or launcher crashing at this time and we are actively working to scale. We'll provide an update as soon as we can.

The GTA franchise has always been popular since its inception. All of them have played Liberty City, Vice City, San Andreas, etc. The franchise holds much more than the sentimental element. Thus, it is natural for people to wait for the game.

GTA V available on Epic Games Store but not accessible yet
Besides the server being unresponsive, there are several other issues people are facing on Twitter. The problems were peculiar in nature – for some, it was “IDK whats happening, but my launcher is in Chinese or some shit.”

It seems like the Epic did not plan it through with this release. Undermining the popularity of the game kind of led to this enormous traffic issue.
its thousands if not millions trying to download this. what do u expect

Some of the people resorted to humor – “Learning how they say “Error” in different languages is Free via The Epic Games Store.”

This remains to be the essential problem, and Epic just did not expect the magnitude. Several marked the regions where this server problem is affecting mostly. Asia, North America, South America, Australia etc. are the regions heavily affected. Most people complained about the ‘free’ part, as many of them already paid for the game.

Some came up with innovative ways to deal with this problem, but that didn’t work too.
Nevertheless, the game is available till 21st. Hopefully by then Epic will figure out a solution to this traffic issue.
